  • Method and apparatus for capacity planning and resourse availability notification on a hosted grid
    Publication number: 20070101000
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus and computer usable program code for dynamically changing allocation policy in a host grid to support a local grid. The host grid is operated according to a set of allocation policies. The set of allocation policies corresponds to a predetermined resource allocation relationship between the host grid and a local grid. Based on the set of allocation policies, at least one resource on the host grid is allocated to the local grid. A monitoring agent is then used to monitor one of the local grid and both the local grid and the host grid for a change in a parameter. A change in the parameter may result in a change in the set of allocation policies.
